hi its my first post just thought id pop on and say hello. I have been after a smart car for years but never got one, had an actual deposit down on a prius and after 6months of no car from the dealer I gave up on that as well. I am in it for the gas mileage mostly though I would do anything to get a brabus smart roadster.

I am a fan of the german cars I own three so far and its time for something with good fuel economy, so far the jury is still out for me on the gas/electric hybrid stuff I may just hold out for a full EV or maybe even get a smart and convert to EV not sure yet.

anyhow I hope to learn lots more about smarts

Hello kompressor,
Probably somewhere in Europe, on a secondhand car lot. None made these days. None legitimately imported in the US either.

Welcome!

You will get better mileage with the Smart car after the beakin period. We are getting 52+ mpg.

i figured no smart car

i was hoping they would sell that dodge slingshot at least which was based on the smart roadster but no such luck , wow 52mpg that is the sort of mileage we are looking for. is that mileage highway milleage and if so what kind of speeds ?
